The American Revolution (Time Travelers – Home School in the Woods) {Review}
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. Today was one of those relaxing mornings. Blissful to the point of this is what I imagined for our homeschooling experience. These are the days that I look forward to and that of which I am in effect trying to convert most of our time. We are once again, gratefully and eagerly using the family-friendly Home School in the Woods materials to augment our homeschool plan. Right now we are studying American History,…

What We’re Reading in Our Homeschool: December 2019
Reading much lately? In an effort to be more routine and sharing with what we are up to I am trying to take inspiration from those that inspire me such as Candice from Homeschool on the Hill. While she is a vlogger and I am more of a written blogger she has great routines with sharing their homeschool experiences. One of which routines I want to pick up is discussing what we are reading in our Memoria ScholĂ© Academy homeschool. I have also been trying to keep better track through my Goodreads account of what I’m reading. So, what have you been reading? We are not nearly reading on the…

What is a relaxed American History morning in our homeschool? (Ages 10 and under)
This morning after breakfast, this mama settled her pregnant bones on to the couch in the living room trying to behave with the modified activity orders from the OB doctor. One daughter moved new prepping newborn cloth diapers to the dryer and toddler prefolds to the washer to be cleaned. Another daughter cleaned the table from breakfast and emptied the clean dishwasher. The newly five-year-old little brother listens to an audiobook and avoids the toddler while she goes here and there building with Duplo Lego bricks and collecting food toys. Mama starts to read aloud from Benjamin West and His Cat Grimalkin by Marguerite Henry. When the counters are clear…

American History Resources, What are your favorites?
This school year, I am teaching students in respectively 4th, 2nd, and PreK (and tot school!) Grades. We decided this year to really pour on the steam and study American History. Brought on from a hiatus of immersion in the ancients and a brief foray into the middle ages. As I’m starting to gather all of the American History resources that I have collected over the years into one place, I’m curious as to what others use to bring US History alive for your students. What are your favorite American History Resources? As we are a few weeks (has it been months?) into this study I am already starting to…

HISTORY Through the Ages Hands-on History Lap-Pak: U.S. Elections {Review}
Mostly we are educating from a Classical Christian Education method and the products from Home School in the Woods ~ (http://homeschoolinthewoods.com) often comes across as a recommended item for our studies across the board in history, especially. Last July, we were blessed with the opportunity to experience and review Project Passport World History Study: Ancient Egypt. We learned that the recommendation lists are right and we love what is provided from Home School in the Woods! We have done a lot of research on resources for studying history. It is my desire that I teach my children using a Classical Christian Education method. For years I’ve heard of a family that…

Beautiful Feet Books: Primary American History
American History Study Guide for the primary grades In the years that I have been researching homeschool materials and curriculum, there is one name that constantly comes back up, Beautiful Feet Books. There is one opinion I have consistently seen… everyone loves Beautiful Feet Books. The theory behind the curriculum is a mama blessing. It is, in my opinion, Classically Mason. (Is BFB Classical?) But wait! Aren’t we doing Veritas Press material? Indeed, we are doing the Veritas Press Scholars Academy diploma program, but there we will not really touch on American history until we reach that part of the cycle. And what about our Memoria Press progress? Well, yes, we…
